I started following the Twitch stream of a great Killer Instinct player named Paul Ramos. His delivery is pretty comical and his confidence in the competitive world of fighting games is admirable. He spends a great deal of his time helping to train other players, and during one such session I sampled a bit of his dialog. It eventually became this song, The Sweet Spot. After some tweaking, the version I’ve put up on SoundCloud is “The Three Alarm Mix”. Listen for PaulB more or less taunting his friendly foe in a few spots in the track. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments.

I don’t play Killer Instinct and I don’t own a PS4, but go check out the KI stream from PaulB over at Twitch.tv. It’s a great crowd to chat with and the game is awesome to watch. Plus you get to watch Paul break down the game with surgical precision. Much of his analysis and advice applies to any video game genre, never mind the fact that a lot of it s relevant to self-help in general. You get to watch him take Sabrewulf to a new level!

Everyone knowsMinecraft at this point. Everyone has tried it and you either love it or you don’t see the point at all. I’m one of the former. This game has me hooked for some reason, and when I tried to figure out why, it took me a while. What’s so fun about a game with no plot, no characters, no specific enemies, and only one level? This is the list of reasons I came up with.

More features? More fun? You bet. The latest version of Minecraft was released today, and fans can rest assured that Herobrine was removed again. Somehow he keeps sneaking back in there. Below is an abbreviated list of changes derived from the excellent coverage over at the Minecraft Forums, as well as the version history of the Minecraft Wiki for more.
